The Heart of Grief
Grieving a Living Person: Finding Peace with a "Less-than-Loved-One" With Bob Gaudet

Season 4
•
Episode 5
This is the first in a series of interviews with participants from our grief recovery programs. In this episode I’m talking with Bob Gaudet, a young man who came to recognize that many of the emotional challenges he was experiencing stemmed from a lost relationship with his long-estranged father, someone whom Bob refers to as a "living less than loved one."
Bob’s story illustrates that
- Grief is not just about loosing a loved one
- Men often find it hard to seek help for emotional pain
- Being brave isn't never being scared, it's doing the good thing even when it's scary
- Resolution of relational hurt can result in both emotional and physical health benefits
- Faith and Grief Recovery work hand in hand to accomplish relational healing
